To use a referral link your friend has sent you:

  1. Click the referral link.

  2. Submit your email.

  3. Download the Freetrade app from the App Store or Google Play.

  4. Complete account setup.

  5. Sign the W-8BEN form (US tax exemption) form to let you invest in US stocks.

  6. Add at least £50 to your account.

  7. A mystery share will appear in your General Investment Account (GIA) on your Portfolio screen. We’ll grant the share itself within 30 days of the above steps being complete.

Note: If you have already created a Freetrade account before clicking on a referral link, you won’t be eligible to receive a free share.
